Let's start with a prototype tidal generator that delivers power to a charging station located at the ferry dock.

GE's electric motor division develops a battery powered motor for the ferry.All of this can be done via retrofits using available technology.

With adaptation and evolution the concept of a tidal powered electric ferry becomes doable in very short order.

The ferry powers up every time it returns to Lynn.

As an added bonus, electric motors with tidally recharged batteries ( developed in Lynn ) become the choice for ferries everywhere.

GE and The City of Lynn enter into a new phase of their long partnership.

This is the perfect situation because ferries always go point to point.

If batteries can last the round trip they can be recharged.

A passenger ferry is large enough that the weight of battery packs is not an issue.

They can be placed low in the hull as ballast.

With power provided by tidal generation, fuel costs become insignificant.

This makes operating ferry service during Lynn's development stage feasible.On the Green front, Tidal Electric Generation utilizes the power of The Ocean but does not consume anything...nor does it produce any toxic petro chemical exhaust.

As another added bonus, The Ocean and tides are a natural resource on the upswing.

Sea Level Rise means that tides, unlike petroleum, coal, and natural gas, are not in danger of running out any time soon.

The Lynn Maritime Future Center and The Infinitely Sustainable, Tidal Powered, Lynn Electric Ferry are the Global Investment Attraction required by the City of Lynn to put the waterfront development plan over the top.

This can be shown as workable and the infrastructure can be under way within a year if positive minded people got together.

GE would be smart to say yes.

It would open a whole new industry for them.Turbines and electric motors are right up their alley.

Stay Tuned...more to follow RE how to, why, etc...***Note...The vessel currently in use is much larger than needed.At this point...Lynn has borrowed an out of service Whale Watch boat from Boston...like this one...

250 passenger capacity...much larger and more expensive to operate than is needed.The battery powered ferry would be a smaller, commuter style vessel...as picturedbelow...much more doable and practical.

Let's work to make Lynn Harbor into the image people recognize when considering Earth's Maritime Future.
It's all up to us.A lot of people with enormous amounts of $$$ at stake are interested in Earth's Maritime Future.They need brilliant solutions to get the investment $$$ flowing.Let them know we're here and ready with those brilliant solutions...!Lynners love to Talk it Up...let's do it...!***

Consider where all the stuff you see came from, how it got here, and where it will end up.

The answer is…it came from all over The Planet, was transported from one coastal city to another via Maritime Commerce, and it will be collected, recycled, and transported once again via ocean going vessel to be re-manufactured…and shipped again.

We already know that our future success relies upon the continuous loop of Global Shipping.

The movement of goods over the Ocean is what makes the big wheel turn.

And, as with every other coastal venture, the cost of Oceangoing shipping just went up.

This rising cost of doing business will be passed on to the consumer.

Since everything travels from port to port…and doing business at said ports is more expensive…everything everywhere becomes more expensive.

That is how important sea level rise is.

Pay Attention.

Insurance and remediation are already an enormous financial burden.

That’s why it matters now, and will continue to matter for as long as anyone alive on Earth today is still around…and then some.

Imagine where this is going as sea level rises.

So…it really is “All About The Shoreline”…

There’s a Seachange a’comin’…comin’ for us all…

we’re bound to get swept up in it…all ridin’ on this ball…

since what you see…is what you get…learn to see it all…( 1.20.07 )

Here’s a quick review to get caught up.

Sea level rise due to expansion from Global Warming threatens Global Commerce which threatens The Future of Humanity.

The worst is yet to come.

We must invest in preparation and prevention now, or face Global Economic Disaster as shorelines change.

Now…what can we do?

Here’s my plan…

There’s obviously a lot more to Climate Change than Sea Level Rise.

But, if we don’t get ahead of this situation, the other issues will become meaningless.

There will be no time or funds for Climate Studies as we struggle to get through each and every day.

The Global Economy will stumble, millions will starve, and chaos will rule.

Don’t panic.

We’re not going to let that happen.

Here’s where Telecommunications Satellite G2 comes in.

The vehicle is self-launching, recyclable, and leaves behind zero debris.

It leads to explanations and solutions that can be initiated immediately…providing us time and opportunity to contend with the myriad of problems on the way…while eliminating the next big issue on the horizon…Space Junk.

It’s all part of the 21st Century Nexus…check it out…this is going to be as exciting as anything that has ever happened...ever...!

And we are fortunate enough to be a part of wherever that excitement leads.

DISCLAIMER…

Just to be thorough…

All of the above is moot if some unforeseen, catastrophic event occurs.

For example...

I mentioned Rogue Asteroids earlier.

Catastrophic Asteroid collision is as likely as any of the other doom and gloom scenarios and must be factored into any future plans we may have.

Depending on where and when this happens…all bets are off.

Simply put…all the planning and action in the world are meaningless if Earth suddenly shudders.
